Detailed Description

The Rails stack is evolving quickly and Fedora needs to keep pace with it. Therefore the whole Rails stack should be updated from 3.0 in Fedora 17 to 3.2 (latest version) in Fedora 18. This will ensure that all the Ruby developers using Fedora have the latest and greatest RPM-packaged Rails.

Benefit to Fedora

This update will keep Fedora up-to-date and will ensure that the current Rails developers stay with us as they will get support for system-packaged Rails of the latest version. Apart from that, Rails 3.2 also bring improved functionality, speed and security.

Scope

The whole Rails stack has to be updated (8 packages)

Additional 10 Gems will have to be packaged

Some dependencies of the Rails stack will need update (see below)

This update will only affect the RPM-packaged RubyGems with no effect on Ruby itself nor any other languages.

Some other packages will be updated to satisfy the dependencies of the new Rails stack, so their depending packages should be rebuilt (these should however not require update themselves). The packages to rebuild are:
